    Memoirs :: Infused Studios’ Visual Journal

    Hey All,

    After 9 action packed days at WPPI, Rina and I decided to chillax by spending some quality time together and walking The Strip. 18 of the world’s largest 25 hotels are located on this street in Las Vegas and it’s certainly changed since the last time my parents brought me here back in the days of Circus Circus.

    Haha being photographers and all, we thought we’d blend in with the tourists and whip out our cameras to snap a few shots of the night scene. Despite the glamour in the photos, a local taxi driver told us that business is dire compared to last year as the global recession is hitting them hard. We noticed it at the McClellan Las Vegas Airport as traffic seems to have died down.  Good for us as we can walk the Strip a lot faster this time around!  =)

    Love my Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens!! (Rina’s already giving me the “L” on her forehead). It’s by far my favourite lens to use in Las Vegas because of the sheer scale of everything. Can’t wait to be back home and share our trip with our family and friends!

    Ciao peeps!

  • Marvelous Men :: Celebrating the Groom

    Where would our brides be without their grooms? This post honours the men who, while they may not be curling their eyelashes or spending ages on hair and make up, are grooming themselves so their brides are equally awed with how amazing their other half looks. From cufflinks to watches, Grooms have an equal eye for the detail in their wedding attire. This is our tribute to the handsome guys we’ve shot in the past while they were getting ready to marry their loves. Gents – your ladies are lucky in love.

  • Image Focus :: Silhouettes

    Finding inspiration on a gray day where rain clouds are blotting out the sun and threatening showers at any moment is tough! I’ve dug into Infused Studios’ archives and am inspired by the absence of light and playing with the contrasts of shadowy figures set against a lit background. After all, when you take away the dress and the dashing suit, stripped of all those material things, what’s left is the best of a couple – the raw emotion and the actions that speak for themselves.

    Back lit so the waterfall comes alive in droplets of shimmering blue/black, this silhouette casts two lovers in the romantic setting of a rainy day where there is nothing as comforting or fulfilling than curling up together and watching the rain fall outside the window while caught in a warm embrace.

    Set against a domed roof at the Barcelo Maya Resort in Mexico, this silhouette evokes thoughts of Frank Sinatra crooning “Fly me to the Moon” and lovers dancing under the stars lit by nothing more than a full moon cresting over the horizon.

    Glamorous, lost amongst the dazzling lights – what could be more Hollywood A-list than a couple sneaking a kiss when nothing more can be seen than their silhouettes?

  • Carmen + Shaun :: E-session (Edmonton)

    Full Circle…

    Edmonton Wedding Photographers

    To commemorate Carmen + Shaun’s engagement we reflected on their past and brought them back to where their life as a couple began: University of Alberta campus.  While they were studying on campus they met in a student bar and we wanted to circle back to their relationship roots to incorporate a bit of their past into their present.  We also brought along the latest addition to their family: Oscar.  The newest man in Carmen’s life is a cute little pup who clings to his mum as only a devoted puppy can.

    The other love of Shaun’s life is his passion for fast cars.  If Oscar is Carmen’s baby, Shaun’s corvette is his – it is motoring perfection.  Lovers of country music, Big Valley Jamboree is a yearly tradition for them.  We updated the Wild West and replaced a horse with serious horsepower and the cowboy & cowgirl are chic in their straw cowboy hats and the True Religion jeans they purchased on a recent trip to Asia where, being gorgeous & blonde, they were given the celebrity treatment.
